Massachusetts metalcore vets Cave In balance brawn and beauty about as artfully as anyone in the scene. They often come across as a heavier-than-usual shoegaze-rock group, complete with those appealing, distant-sounding vocals from Stephen Brodsky. But they can also get fairly proggy with their baroque guitar riffing and florid atmospheres. Unfortunately, Cave In are rebounding from the tragic 2018 death of bassist/vocalist Caleb Scofield, but they're soldiering on, touring in support of this year's Final Transmission LP. It’s a majestic slab of melancholy, mountain-top rock that sounds like an elegy for their fallen bandmate. by Dave Segal
